IS YOUR CHILD'S ANOREXIA PSYCHOLOGICAL?

When we become parents, we need to "feed without eating, drink without drinking", and we keep moving on with questions such as "whatever he eats, he will have a more resistant body, a healthier brain and body development will occur". There is nothing extraordinary so far, of course, but as in everything else, the issue of “less decisions, more harms” is of great importance.

We begin to impose various sanctions on our children who have no appetite, and to tell little pink lies and stories with the logic of "as long as they eat". The issue is starting to take a different turn here. Experts are of the opinion that rather than breaking your child's faith with such "things that will not happen", a complete and balanced diet should set an example for him.

In particular, the right approach of mothers is of great importance in the development of children's belief in family and people. Issues such as being persistent, making different promises that are believed to come true after eating or not, have much deeper meanings for the child's world.

Due to the profile of mothers who eat under pressure, their children may differ from wanting to have social contact with other people in the future, to wanting to move their relationship with food to a very unhealthy point. Issues such as being stubborn with the mother or using it as a weapon for things she wants to do negatively affect the child's personality development.

So what to do?

Yes, you gave birth, you suffered for 9 months, you gave life, yes, she is the apple of your eye! But in the end it's not yours, it's an individual. You can choose food, look for different tastes and visuals in food from your habits, or maybe it's just your delusion. He actually eats normally, but you say "no appetite" because he needs to eat more than you do.

You have to accept that they also have a taste, and even that this taste may be different from yours and you have to respect it. As your behavior will be shaped when you accept this perception, the psychological causes of loss of appetite in your child will definitely be resolved. Despite these situations, if your child's loss of appetite continues, you should definitely consult a specialist.
